When to start buying baby stuff

When did you all start buying baby stuff? My mom is superstitious and told me not to buy baby stuff too early in my pregnancy. I’m 22 weeks now. I’m so excited to buy stuff for the baby but I was told it was bad luck to buy things too early.

I bought stuff throughout so I didn’t have to spend a whole bunch at the very end. I bought close every so often when I found something I like. I also waited until my baby shower/Christmas for things. But you could buy whenever I would spread it out though to not spend it all together

I’m buying small things each week, then once I get to 15-20 weeks that’s when I’m looking at big stuff

I waited until after my baby shower at 7 going to 8 months pregnant when I started buying stuff. But my family members bought stuff throughout the pregnancy. We’re also a bit superstitious lol

Buy whenever you feel comfortable doing so. We didn’t buy anything much until I was about 30 weeks pregnant (he came at almost 42 weeks) and it was fine. This time round we have most stuff but I’ve bought a couple of little bits earlier.

We got some of our bigger items pretty early, but lots of little things throughout and then we're having a baby shower around 7 months so we have a couple of months to get the last things before the baby gets here. I've had quite a few people being superstitious, but my thoughts are that we would try again if anything were to happen so it would always be worth it. I really hope nothing would happen, but don't let that take over so that you're not excited!! It's such a fun and exciting time.

I started buying around 18-20weeks (I’m 23 weeks now). I wanted to keep an eye out for sales on big ticket items and not be pressured at the end of my pregnancy to buy things full price because I missed out on a sale. Also, gives me time to scout out Facebook marketplace for other things. I say do whatever you’re comfortable with!

I didnt start overly early think in January and we found out in end of September. Just bits at a time as don't want to fork out loads at once x
